Quote from a woman working in the male violence against women sector - regarding the internal splits in the movement on the trans inclusivity debate:
"I am not saying that anyone can or cannot live their lives – my concern is what I see as a sinister attempt to dismantle women only provision based on sex, and really disappear the women’s sector as we know it."
"I have no concern for the fact that this is a contested area, there is not agreement on it, there are a variety of views. The other thing that is quite alarming to me is that people that would call themselves human rights activists think that it is ok to silence women’s voices."
"...That for me is a massive red flag, this cannot be a progressive movement on any level if there is no room for debate."
